So. . .big brother has finished for another year and I can stop watching tv again. There were certainly no "Brian's" this year, but Alex was funny to watch!

The Friday Five

1. How long have you had a weblog?
I started this in May 2001 ~ but it's not a blog! Before this I just had a yahoo club thing.

2. What was your first post about?
Tales of the incredible fridge eating dog!

3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one?
I've just had "Jen ~ more than you need to know".

4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else?
At the moment I'm writing everything online at yahoo - but I'm trying other stuff.

5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place?
I don't mind reading both.

sunday 14th
Pass me my sunglasses - I do believe it's summer!
It's been a long time coming, but yes - I hear the distant hum of a lawnmower, the gentle tweet of birds at play and the smell of a good BBQ doing it's thing. . .summer is here everyone, grab your tall drinks and straws, sun hats and deckchairs, because this might be the only fine day for the rest of the year. . . .ever the eternal optimist hey!!!

So, this afternoon the "Festival of Speed" saw a display by the Red Arrows, while I had a private display right over the top of my house ~ Click here for the PHOTOS!


saturday 13th
So, my town has been taken over. The otherwise sleepy 'city' (c'mon, we have a cathedral for goodness sake) is throbbing full of PEOPLE! Chichester is holding it's annual "Festivities" events (which are incredibly fine if I say so myself) as well as "The Real Ale & Jazz festival" AND the world famous "Festival of Speed" on the Goodwood estate. This of course culminates in crowds, traffic jams and, ultimately, JEN hiding at home for the weekend. I don't 'do' crowds at the best of times - hence my reason for NOT going to see Fat Boy Slim on Brighton beach tonight (even the tv coverage made me feel claustrophobic!)
I'll stop moaning now - I mean, it's got to be good for Chichester's commerce right? But I just wish "they" would all go home - I need to go shopping! :o)


thursday 11th
boy! it was a goddam sunny today - did anyone notice? Although I took my raincoat with me, I didn't need it. . .anyone would think it's the summer.
I am looking forward to the next few weeks - school term is winding down and it looks as though it might be a fairly quiet summer work wise, but my parents are away for a few weeks, so we'll see. . .although I predict a good few afternoons a'reading and a'relaxing by the pool - the paddling pool that is!

I'm still amazed at how NICE a day it was today!

the kids my dad never had. . . I implore you to watch SCRUBS tonight on Channel4 - it's essential viewing in our house, and I'm sure you'll thank me for giving you a heads up right at the beginning of the series. And if you hate it? . . .well whatever!


wednesday 10th
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLY ! ! !


sunday 7th
spent most of this wonderfully lazy sunday getting stuff together. the worst thing though is that it's now 9.30pm and I've only just got to update here. oops.


The Friday Five

1. Where are you right now?
In front of my computer, waiting for 10pm so that I can watch 'The Osbournes' on MTV

2. What have you lost recently?
A bar of chocolate that was here a minute ago. . .

3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now?
The Sugarcubes 'stick around for joy' - I bought it before I actually had a cd player!
It does not embarrass me - and I am listening to it again now. Fantastic.

4. What is your favorite kind of writing pen?
glittery gel pens are flavour of the month.

5. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
some incredibly tasty Morello Cherry Flavoured Fat Free Frozen Fromage Frais From Waitrose!


thursday 4th
